In the Trusted zone of your Zone Alarm Zones panel, you should have your LAN and subnet looking something like this 192.168.x.x/255.255.255.0 . You will also need to put your Trusted Zone security slider on 'Medium' and not 'High'.

Re: mac cannot open folders on pc

Hi Bill I reinstalled zone alarm
and set it like you said, I have my lan setup and I also put the ip address of the ibook in there . I still get a &quot; alais has changed or moved message from the mac &quot;,
when trying to access folder on the pc, even with the firewall turned off for the trusted zone. Everything on the network see's everything else with no zonealarm but not when the firewall is installed.Thanks for all the help
